Chapter 1070
Corinne was in the shower when her phone started ringing. However, it switched off not long after as it
had run out of battery. After blow-drying her hair, Corinne connected her phone to the charger and went
to sleep without turning it back on.
The next morning, Corinne left for the summer vi after taking her breakfast and giving Pam a safe
excuse as to where she was going. Pam, ever the worrier, was reluctant to let Corinne go out alone,
but she felt more reassured after knowing Tommy would be apanying her.
‘Jeremy must’ve arranged security detail for Corinne,’ thought Pam.
Since it was a weekend, it meant Chester would being in the morning to tutor Francine, so she
woke up earlier than usual to tidy up her room. At first, being worried about Corinne going out alone,
she wanted to apany her. However, she did not really want to miss the chance to see Chester. In
the end, she chose to stay at home to wait for Chester after learning Tommy would be apanying
Corinne.

‘Corinne’s gonna be fine with Tommy apanying her,’ Francine told herself.
…
Tommy sat in the front passenger seat while Corinne sat in the back seat. Together, they drove to the
Riveras’ summer vi. Tommy had notified the Riveras that Corinne would be dropping by, so the
servants were on standby to receive her. Even though the Riveras and the Holdens had bad blood
between them, it did not seem to carry over to Corinne as the Riveras seem to really like her.
The car drove along the country road.
Tommy shut hisptop close after finishing some work. He then turned to look at Corinne, who was
resting with her eyes closed. “Ma’am, did you sleep very earlyst night?”
“I think so. I didn’t check the time before I went to sleep. Why do you ask?” replied Corinne without
opening her eyes.
“Your phone was turned off when Mister Jeremy called youst night. He got worried about you, so he
called me. He sounded very relieved after I told him you’re okay.”
“My phone ran out of batteryst night,” said Corinne absent-mindedly.

She did see the missed call from Jeremy this morning when she switched on her phone. She called
him back, but his phone was turned off. She chalked it down to the time difference between the two
countries and did not bother to call him a second time.
All this while, she had been waiting for him to call her, which he should have done the moment he
landed in Molomia. Yet, he only called her after so many days had passed. Not to mention, there was a
high possibility he would not have called yesterday if the whole thing with the other woman did not
happen.
Corinne was starting to wonder what her rtionship with Jeremy was. The more she wondered, the
more she felt there was no point in continuing the marriage. In fact, she was not even interested to find
out who the woman on the other side of the phone was.
Back in the car, Corinne opened her eyes slowly. “Tommy, just what new project did Holden Group
launch in Molomia that requires Jeremy to be there all the time?”
“Umm…” Tommy’s gaze darted around.
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “Is it a trade secret?”
Tommy still did not know how to answer her.
Corinne was really put off by hisck of response, so she closed her eyes again. “Forget it. Take it as I
didn’t ask.”
Worried that she was angry, Tommy quickly exined, “Ma’am, it’s not some sort of trade secret. Even
if it is, Mister Jeremy won’t keep it hidden from you. It’s just that I don’t have the clearance to tell you
what you want to know. Of course, you can call and ask Mister Jeremy. He’ll tell you anything you want
to know.”
Corinne sneered. ‘If he wanted me to know, he would’ve told me before he went on the business trip.
He wouldn’t have waited until I asked.’
She decided not to probe further as it was getting meaningless.
